We provide innovative, reliable, and efficient solutions for the agriculture industry.
How Often Should You Monitor Grain Seasonally?
The frequency of grain monitoring can vary depending on several factors, including the type of grain, storage conditions, and seasonal changes. Here are some general guidelines for monitoring grain seasonally:
Spring: After a long winter, it is important to check stored grain for moisture and temperature fluctuations. Check the grain every two weeks and adjust the aeration and cooling systems as needed. For this you need temperature and moisture sensors.
Summer: As temperatures rise, so does the risk of insect infestations and fungal growth. Check the grain every week for signs of insect activity, mold growth, or hot spots. Monitor these levels with the CO2 sensor and take appropriate action if necessary.
Fall: As the harvest season approaches, it is important to check the grain for moisture content and adjust the aeration and cooling systems accordingly. Check the grain every two weeks and prepare for harvest by cleaning and disinfecting the storage facility.
Winter: During the winter months, the risk of temperature fluctuations is high. Check the grain every two weeks and adjust the aeration and cooling systems as needed. It is also important to monitor the CO2 levels and take appropriate action if necessary.
How Can AgroLog Help with Grain Monitoring?
Grain monitoring is essential for ensuring maximum crop quality and protection. Temperature and moisture fluctuations, insect infestations, and other factors can all impact the condition of stored grain and seeds. Failure to monitor and control these conditions can result in significant economic losses due to spoilage, reduced quality, and reduced market value.
What Factors Affect Grain Quality and Condition?
There are several factors that can impact the quality and condition of stored grain and seeds like:
Temperature
Moisture
CO2 levels
Insect infestations
Fungal growth
In order to maintain optimum quality and condition, it is important to monitor these factors regularly.
